A new study has warned that if a woman drinks in the first six weeks of pregnancy she risks permanent damage to her unborn baby. Drinking alcohol at between three and six weeks pregnant can cause symptoms similar to foetal alcohol syndrome, the experts warned. Past studies have found exposure to alcohol during pregnancy can damage a baby, increasing the risk of a child suffering learning disabilities and congenital deformities.
Studies show that using drugs -- legal or illegal -- during pregnancy has a direct impact on the fetus. If you smoke, drink alcohol, or ingest caffeine, so does the fetus. If you use marijuana or crystal meth, your fetus also feels the impact of these dangerous drugs. And if you are addicted to cocaine -- also called coke, snow, or blow -- you're not only putting your own life on the line, but you are risking the health of your unborn baby..
